Masterpieces: Jet Set Radio Future | Documentary

Join Kay Martinez as they explore the game development, character design, original soundtrack, and cultural movements that inspired SEGA's estranged masterpiece: Jet Set Radio Future.

What do funk, hip-hop, rock, and rollerblading have in common? Each of these embody various forms of unbound self-expression within bold, creative communities. They are also key pieces to the intricate make-up of Jet Set Radio Future. Since 2002, JSRF has remained locked away as an exclusive title for the original Xbox; never seeing a remake, remaster, or port to current consoles. Still, decades later, its vibrant themes of self-expression and community continue to inspire people across the globe. Masterpieces: Jet Set Radio Future (2023) features never-before-seen interviews with artists from JSRF's original soundtrack and creators inspired by the game.
